This course surveys fundamental concepts, and forefront issues, regarding the large scale structure and evolution of the physical universe, and its fundamental microstructure. Also forefront issues in philosophy of scientific paradigms are explored. Those two themes are considered in an integrative manner, in search of perspectives that will encompass leading edge views on the nature of Reality. This will be a hybrid, on campus + online course. Approximately half the meetings will be on campus with remote attendance available via Skype group videoconferencing.
